Hi! I’m an afab nb with major social anxiety and my partner is an amab, masc-presenting nb who babies me appropriately, I know this is talking about straight couples but like. You can’t tell by just looking at stick figures, just like you can’t tell my partner and I are nonbinary just by looking. Straight-passing queer couples exist and don’t deserve hate just for appearing straight. Straight couples can even have queer individuals involved, one or both could be binary trans, or one or both could be bi.

I hope nonbinary Jakey also dies

ppl managing to live where they grew up is really bizarre to me

Hi! Croatian here. As an inland country, I found a job processing uranium. We have a lot of it.

God I wish I was processing uranium in Croatia

I think about this post every day

Hey, another Croatian here! Croatia has a coastline and I can’t find a single mention of uranium in Croatia. I don’t know what kind of paralel universe this person is from.

As a Croat, this is my favorite post on this website.

i work at an infant daycare and one of our babies right now is notorious for attacking the others. like she'll lock onto a target from the other side of the classroom and speed crawl over to them while breathing really heavily and then when she gets near them she'll either pull them over by their onesies, pull their hair, smack them, or hit them with toys. if you move her away from her victim she'll just chase them down again so we've started implementing "baby jail" where we stick her in a jumper whenever she attacks her classmates. we have a couple of babies now that will straight up start wailing if she gets near them because she's smacked them around so many times. also this isn't entirely relevant to the original post but we call her typhoid mary because her mom keeps bringing her in when she's sick, hence this message i sent to my coworkers a while back

When they first started dating, my best friend's boyfriend was like, "I just kinda feel like you two are uncomfortably close sometimes. All of my friends agree that it's really weird, and I think we need to establish some boundaries."

And I sat him down and gave him this huge speech, like, "Listen, the ability to maintain intimate, long-lasting friendships is a sign that your partner is well-adjusted! It's a little worrying that you're feeling insecure about your partner having a healthy, normal friendship."

Only for her to walk in two seconds later and say, "This drink is disgusting, you have to try it," and, instead of offering me a sip, take a huge swig and spit it directly into my mouth from like three feet away.

There's just so much going on here but I want to focus on the fact that this apparently happens so often that you saw her take a swig and instinctively opened your mouth for her to spit in it.

Who are you, OP? What is your life?

The trope where a character overhears something out of context and assumes the worst is usually annoying and bad but I really think it works well in Shrek

We, the audience, know that Fiona is talking about herself but, regardless, she’s calling herself these terrible things because she is an ogre. If Fiona is these things because she is is an ogre what does that make Shrek?

If Fiona says no one could love her because she is an ogre, she is saying that Shrek is also unloveable whether she wants to or not.

Imo the scene is a really good portrayal of how when you talk poorly of yourself or others for having a trait, you’re also talking about every other person who shares that trait; even if you love them or think what you’re saying doesn’t apply to them.

Not going to lie, I saw the word “Shrek” and never expected this to be a deep post.

On the being deep about Shrek website?

If you were registered to vote in the city of Atlanta in 2021, you are eligible to sign the referendum petition. You can sign up to be notified here.

[ID: Two tweets by Steven Dozinger (@sdozinger@bird.makeup). The first reads: “Breaking: The historic “Cop City” protest movement today forced the city of Atlanta to allow a citizen’s vote on the construction of the police complex to go forward. Need 75,000 signatures to get on the ballot in November. The vote will happen; Cop City will not. 👊 👊” An image in the tweet is labelled: “Protesters just after the Atlanta city council ignored comments from 400 citizens and approved the cop city training academy.” The image shows a courtroom with about a dozen protesters visible, some of them masked; one of them leans far over a barrier to point at someone on the judges' bench; another leans over the barrier and has their mouth open, as if yelling. The second tweet reads: “The “Cop City” referendum campaign needs resources to succeed. To support it click on this link:” The link is the one provided at the bottom of OP’s post. End ID]

I just saw a story on AO3 tagged "pet p!ay"

TIK TOK MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE IT DESTROYS LANGUAGE

For a second there I was like “What? That’s a fairly normal AO3 tag.”

Then I reached forward to wipe away the dirt on the l. But there was nothing there...

Censoring tags literally helps no one.

It doesn't help people that want to find that kind of content because you censored it.

It doesn't help people avoid that kind of content because you censored it. It helps literally no one. No one at all.

STOP CENSORING THE FUCKING TAGS

Reminder that SevenSeas have a monthly readers survey where you can go and recommend titles for them to pick up and publish!!! They already publish Yuri titles like "Even Though We're Adults" and "Doughnuts Under A Crescent Moon" so I think this one would really suit them as a publisher!!!
